Speaking of fuse blocks:
I just got done replacing the "Lighting Switch" (that's
head/park/tail/license lights) in my '69B. A DPO had cobbled in a
heater switch, so I had no separate parking lights. The wires were
combined onto one terminal, so I had to separate the wires and put new
terminals on them. Well, I got that done and I fired her up to charge
the battery a bit and check all the lights. Hmm, no instruments, no
brake lights, now what the....
So after hours of tracing the wiring diagram, highlighting ckts with
colored pencils, and looking for voltage with my DVM, I finally came to
the fuse block. The fuse that feeds the green ckts wasn't making good
contact. Grrrr.... So I burnished the fuse holder and fuse and
everything worked.
That's the third time in the last year that I've had trouble because
of corroded connections at the fuse holder. Notably the time I chased
an intermittent horn prob. Time to break down and replace it.
Jay, does the replacement fuse holder seem to be good quality? Moss
part?
